The majority of Americans will never experience the true requirements of service. But we are surrounded by those who do in our day-to-day lives. Today, we say thank you.
Our office is closed today for Veterans Day. We’d like to share something one of our team members, Jennifer Davis, shared last week reminding our team about today.
"On November 11th, our company will observe Veterans Day. First and foremost, if you are a Veteran, we here at Trility want to thank you for your service. For those of us who haven’t served, we can never fully understand the sacrifices you’ve made for our country, our safety, and our freedoms.
Thank you.
Almost all of my life, I’ve lived a few minutes from the world’s biggest naval base, Naval Station Norfolk, and close to U.S. Navy master jet base, Naval Air Station Oceana. I get to see and hear jets fly over regularly. I can watch the Blue Angels and still get excited every year for their powerful display at the Oceana Air Show. From the beach, I’ve watched massive aircraft carriers leaving for or coming home from deployment. With my toes in the sand along the Chesapeake Bay, I’ve seen hovercraft vessels practicing for missions.
Growing up and into my adult life, these sights and sounds have had a great impact on me. But I’ve only watched from the sidelines. My exposure has been limited to the displays of the awesome power of our Nation’s military. What I haven’t seen are the true requirements of the service itself. As we look forward to Monday, I want to celebrate and honor those who have served. I want to be reminded of what it takes to serve others. I want to be thankful for the freedoms I get to enjoy because of those who have served. And I want to encourage you to do the same.”
– Jennifer Davis, Vice President of People Operations
